About meI'm an academic librarian in Ohio who has recently re-discovered time to read-for-fun (as opposed to reading-for-graduate-degrees - MLS & MA in History). It's pretty fantastic!
About my libraryMy library is a smoosh of things I own and things I've read. All books that I own are tagged owned. This is not really that large a group of books - the library is so convenient that I tend not to buy unless it's a much-loved volume that I intend to read over and over again.
Take that with a grain of salt, however - many of those books are ones I intended to read over and over again when I was 14 and now can't bear to part with.
I've added most of my fiction books and am slowly working on adding the number of non-fiction (mostly history) books I own.
Books I've read in the past are added hodge-podge as I recall them, while books I'm reading currently are added, tagged, rated, and dated with religious fervor. When I'm really good, I even review.
I'm a pretty big sci-fi geek with a dash of fantasy thrown in, but I also love well-written historical fiction and the occasional 'popcorn' piece. And I have a never-ending fondness for Y/A lit.
Although my library has existed for awhile, I've really only started using LT since Dec 2008.
NOTIFICATION: If you notice an error/typo/etc in my catalog, please feel free to let me know and I will clean it up!

We all have different tastes and that is what I like about LibraryThing: hearing about other people's reading experiences. I had a similar view of China Mieville's Perdido Street Station, even though there were different obstacles for me.
I'd urge you to give William Gibson another chance, especially his more recent works, like Pattern Recognition or Spook Country. Both of these are in a much more accessible future, a much more believable future, and as such, my be easier to get into. Stylistically, they are also not as rough around the edges.
I may disagree with your assessment of Neromancer, but you stated your case well and I can respect your opinion. We all like different things in reading!
Keep reading, keep enjoying!

But in any case, I have kind of a thing for Mars, so you might want to take my recommendation with a grain of salt. But still, I really, really liked it and am happily starting on my second read-through, so... you might just want to take a peak at the first chapter and see if you're interested.

I was glad to see that you've gotten through Locke Lamora and enjoyed that -- it's always nice when I recommend and people enjoy the recommendations. :) I bet you'd enjoy the one I just finished off, Red Mars. So you can add that one to your already massive wish list.
